Bono Dedicates Song For Someone To James Hird, Footy Classified Presents 90 Minute Special Episode

I wonder if he will still be able to coach. (Since Bono can no longer strum)

 

[Axver]

James Hird is in a coma.

 

[bono_man2002]

Seriously don't think the AFL season should continue until Hird is ok.

 

[Axver]

The anaesthetic might not wear off until about 2017.

This Collingwood vs West Coast game is becoming comical with all the missed shots.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hello, my babies.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Great to see the Hawks playing so much better than everyone else. That really cheers me up. Absolutely rapt, couldn't be happier. Wonderful news.

 

[The Sad Punk]

The Freo-Blues game is closer than the Syd-Hawks game.

West Coast is our only hope from this brown and gold menace.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Cmon budda franco beat these shitbirds!! !

Bonnie!

The AFL ought to put out a missing notice for Sydney, because they don't seem to have turned up tonight. Except for that brief cameo by Buddy.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Swans being forced to play slow and incompetently on the wing. Feels like I'm watching a Port game.

Hihihii Feels good to be home!

Unfortunately I gotta head off soon to go to something that's too late to talk out of, but I'll be back later tonight. And around for the Showdown, hopefully!

 

[Axver]

So good to have you back around here!

I'm taking my mum to see Brisbane at the G tomorrow. They're playing Melbourne so she might even leave happy with a bit of luck!

I'm starting to think Sydney shouldn't bother scoring any more goals. Every time they score it just seems to mean Hawthorn score two more.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'm scared of the Hawks in a way I ain't usually of a footy team.

Thanks, I've been meaning to come back for a long time now, finally decided to bite the bullet tonight, glad I did! Missed you all heaps. Stuff just gets in the way.

Awesome, I'll be rooting for the Lions then! I think both sides have shown a few good little touches over the year, the doom and gloom isn't quite so dark for the bottom four this season compared to others.

I really can't believe what I'm watching, I know the Swans and Freo have had slight slumps but god, are they really the second best sides? Really frightening.

 

[The Sad Punk]

LINGY I WANT YOU TO SUM UP THE HAWKS IN A PARAGRAPH WITH SEVEN SECONDS LEFT TO GO IN THE GAME. LlNGY WHERE ARE YOU. LINGY. A PARAGRAPH. BOY OH BOY

 

[bono_man2002]

Holla Bonnie!

Cancel the season, the Hawks are going to win again.

 

[Axver]

Well, it was one thing for Hawthorn to wipe the floor with Freo by 72 points at their Launceston fortress, but to go up to Sydney and thump the Swans by 89? That's something else again. Definitely can't believe what I've seen the last two weeks. However did my rabble beat them in round two?!

I love how hilariously angry BT was about those bolts behind the goals. He had a point, those should've been covered, but you'd think it was the only thing that had happened in the game.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hey Daniel!!

Surprising stat about this game: apparently Tippett was playing. Interesting!

 

[Axver]

Tippett appears to have been paid to be invisible tonight. I suppose that invisibility is quite a talent to possess.

That Laughing Cow ad was the most delicious thing I've seen all night. #sorrycyril

Hard to believe Port beat them within a quarter earlier this year. If the Power were to play Hawthorn again now, Wingard's face would be left in a permanent scow.... oh.

God bless BT, he can make the most logical statement sound completely absurd.

Sydney using COLA to devise technology for an invisibility coat and Tippett being their guinea pig would be a nice twist. Also the most plausible excuse for what Kurt's dishing up on his dosh.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Suffice to say, I weasled out of other commitments tonight. The only thing that separates us from the animals

Football edit: Hawks get to play Carlton twice over the remaining rounds of the season. Thanks Gill.

I think the only Swan to have worse stats than Tippett tonight is the guy who got subbed out sometime during the first half injured.

BT called Tippett's name at some point late in the third quarter. My mum and I straight away turned to each other and said we'd forgotten he was even playing.

I'm afraid of what Hawthorn's percentage will be come finals.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Glad I stayed up just to watch Richo eat vindaloo and garlic naan with Brian Lake! What is even happening.

It's only July, granted, and Freo and Swans will likely get their shit together somewhat before the finals, but jeeeez.

Contemplating going to Elder Park tomorrow to watch the Showdown on a big screen with a few thousand who can't fit into the Oval, although the thought of rugging up with a red sounds a bit nicer and just as suitably SA. Will you be around Ax (and others)?

 

[Axver]

I'm not sure what my plans will be after the Lions/Dees game - the end of which I assume will clash with the start of the Showdown anyway? I really want to see the Showdown because you know it's going to be one of the most emotional games of footy ever, but I'm not sure what my mum and stepdad will want to do. They might want to see a bit more of Melbourne while they're down here.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ah, derp, of course! All good, family is important - have a great time tomorrow!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ripping Showdown so far, high scoring and free flowing. Massive from both sides. Fair to say Phil would have loved it... here's hoping for a close finish.

Weather's pretty lovely so rather than going the red I've opted to celebrate the Prussian heritage of this fine state because Becks was on special.
